Facebook said that they removed 32 large fan pages and accounts tied to a "covert" push to spread divisive political messages ahead of the upcoming midterm elections. Over 290,000 accounts followed at least one of the fake pages.

The fake accounts are similar to the Russian hackers who meddled in the 2016 election.
